Herbs: Overwintering Perennial Herbs in raised beds?, 1 by thethorinator

Hi Fellow Gardeners;
I have what would, in most cases, be perennial herbs and at least one bi-ennial (parsley: Italian Flat-Leaf and Moss Curled plus the other usual suspects, a bushy rosemary that thrived in my raised bed garden, peppermint placed in a pot within the square foot garden but allowed to slightly go to town but kept in the square, Common Thyme, LOTS of Garden Sage, Garlic and Standard Chives, Variegated Basil (Basilicum x Citridorium, if I recall correctly...which is a very tender perenniall that is meant for the Mediterannean or Sub-Tropical regions so will obviously need to bring indoors, but had to brag as it is quite wonderful) and a TON of Garden and a bit of Golden Sage and a ton of Greek/Italian Oregano. My question is as follows: Will the hardy perennialsl over-winter in raised beds and if so, what kind of care do they need to do so, as it'd be a real shame to lose any of them at all! The chives (regular will be transferred from a pot into the soil of the raised bed once everything else dies back for the year.

Thanks for your time, I appreciate any advice that you may have for me! Below, a picture of my little Rosemary...even if it's not huge, just pretty.

Sincerest Blessings,
Thor
