I live in a rural area on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland, and there's a
piece of land that while it doesn't belong to me is kind of my
responsibility to keep kempt - a wide verge between my fence and the
road. Although there's no pronounced slope from side to side, it's
not flat and I don't want the bother of having to strim or mow it.

I should have added: the area is about 4-5 metres wide and 50-60 metres
long! A small part of it already has some low-lying green flowers that I
don't know the name of.

"low-lying green flowers" isn't very precise, but green flowers (if
meant literally) are relatively uncommon, so it is Alchemilla - either
the garden escape Alchemilla mollis, or one of the native species (you
might have Alchemilla alpina up there)?

Any advice really depends on ground conditions - is it sandy, or rocky
or peaty, is it wet, or dry?
