The enticement with a clumsily formed garden is either to do as little as feasible to it -- perhaps a grass surrounded with flowerbeds -- or to add too many concealed corners and details, which might work best in a gigantic plot, but will not make the best of an average-sized garden. The best is to come up with a layout that is easy but uses design tricks to fix the form of the garden. Better still, an intelligent layout can make the clumsy shape an advantage, using peculiar corners for concealed storage or raised levels to outline areas of the garden.
