Photo of Small Bushy Garden with Wild, but Boring Mint - Suggestions

Hello Everyone! I'm relatively new to gardening and new here too!
I have a small garden that's roughly 2 meters by 4 meters, and I have some Mint going on. As I understand they are rampant, and could take over, but I do plan to make my garden as bushy as possible! But the thing is, Mint is very boring to look at!

The ground is piled into two large mounds, and it seems that the mint has not gone all the way to the top, which they apparently do not touch! I have some Snake plants there, and I'd like to transfer them to pots.

Can any of you suggest some bushy and flowery plants to mix with mint? Any beginner, dense, flowery, and not-too-tall plants to interact with the mint would be very helpful!

I have a home business and I have - a lot - of time to prune the Mint (Java and Lemon) as I enjoy the tea very much.

Thank you sooo much!
