couple of things spring to mind - some borders down each side and some screen at the back.
depending on how much you mind the available space being encroached, you could plant some shrubs at the back, and / or a climbing plant.
Have a browse here for suitable plants:
-
Is the slope as steep as it looks?
Long term I'd think about terracing, or making some sort of cool seating cut out in that slope, so I wouldn't do stuff that would impact or negate that.
In the meantime;
- Sow the lawn with poppy (california poppies are nice and different) and cornflowers (assuming it is that steep do you use it much?)
- add climbers - Malvern Rose is a really nice rambling rose, jasmin is always nice
- pack some pretty wall flowers into that wall - there's this great stuff with purple flowers I forgot the name of that I think the Romans brought over.
- add some seating at the bottom - car boot sale season is upon us, we got some great old school sports benches for £15 and a locker bench for £12 delivered.

Looking for some advice. I have a small, sloped garden that I have no idea what to do with.I don't have the time or money to do a bit job on it at the moment but would like to introduce some plants to start sprucing it up a bit. I have no idea where to start!
