Not straight, like some gardens (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

askew

'not straight' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'like some gardens' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'some gardens' becomes 'kew' (Kew Gardens in London).
'as'+'kew'='ASKEW'

(Other definitions for askew that I've seen before include "Lopsided" , "Obliquely" , "irregular" , "Leaning to one side" , "Not true" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
