Garden Q&A: My kitchen faces a ditch. Can I make it look better?

'Without having seen your ditch, my first suggestion is that perhaps you can learn to love it'

I live in rural County Galway and my garden is bordered on one side by a traditional ditch — which isn’t very pleasing to the eye. I’d like to plant something low maintenance to make it look better as my kitchen and patio doors look into it.
