Depending on the slope of the hill that can be a problem and you most likely will need to terrace that garden to prevent that sliding. That terracing might mean reconstruction or might mean placing a barrier (landscape fabric) every couple of feet to capture the mulch.

The sign of a good gardener is brown knees, not a green thumb.
