Front Garden Ideas

Good morning,
I would appreciate any views on how to change my front garden for the better. As will be seen from the photograph, my front garden is on a slope, mainly grass going down to a border full of penstemons. The grass has deteriorated over the years (mining bees digging holes and Birds-foot trefoil becoming established) and the border, originally with roses and other shrubs has become more difficult to maintain as I get older.
Any ideas gratefully received.

There are many ideas for a low maintenance garden, it looks a sunny site so l would suggest plants along the lines of lavenders and salvias. It would be fairly easy to come up with plants for year round interest, from bulbs for Spring colour to ornamental grasses for Autumn and Winter interest.
A few suggestions here

Does the slope run down towards the bed or is it more left to right ? Any chance of another photo looking up the slope please ?
Many thanks for both of your comments/ideas. I shall give these some thought over the next few weeks.
Thank you both once again.
