Home in the woods

First 2 are front patio, last 2 are back patio. I really want my back patio to be the garden (40+ by 5 feet, a nice combo of full sun, part sun, shade). I also want a ‘hangout’ area (football season soon) for 2-8 people! Not sure front or back though?
I am VERY cottage style garden leaning (tulips, peony, etc). Front patio is north facing.

Can you pros work your magic?

How to plant on a slope??

I am moving into our house in June and I am an avid gardener, but I’m know nothing about landscaping, especially on a slope.
We are moving onto 4 acres in the woods, but have a bank that gets direct on most of the day. I really want lots of native plants (deer/bunny resistant, good for out pollinators) however it’s a very steep bank. It’s completely overgrown at this time with non-native trees/shrubs/bushes/grasses but my fear is if I start ripping out plants I could damage the integrity of the bank. I also do not have a lot of money to spend on a professional landscaper, but do you have access to lots of farm equipment to DIY.
I pulled these from Pinterest so cannot vouch for the ai versus real. I want something like this but again, working on a budget. Gardening is one of my true hobbies/passions so I hate the thought of not at least getting something started in June-November when first moving in!

Short;
- gardening on slope:
* how to do it? if replace overgrown plants will it comprise bank integrity?
About: 80%+ native flowers, okay with minimal shrubs if needed. 7a/7b

Best Dementia CE/Certification?

Looking to expand my knowledge on dementia, dementia care, and caregiver training. I am between Teepa Snow (PAC) and the Skills2Care Dementia Collaborative at this time. I have a private practice and want to expand my knowledge to better serve my community. At this time, I am going into people's home and providing caregiver education as well as home modifications. I have always had a love for my patients with dementia and providing techniques to the family to better understand what is happening and managing behaviors.

I am not looking for the cheapest option - I am looking for the one that is going to best serve myself and my community. If you have taken any additional certifications; pros and cons of the one you did? Are there others I should consider.

Hubby picked up microscope at this store this weekend and has spent so many hours in front of it. He’s in school for fish and wildlife conservation, and excited to see something moving. Help me help him! Zoom x500, video to show that something is moving inside the green thing (technical terms).
Found on moss on a tree + water between two slides.
Western NC - i understand it may be extremely hard to identify for real, can you point us in the direction of what to research?
