Smith designed this
parterre in an
elaborate scroll
pattern made from
low-maintenance
dwarf mondo grass

exposure wouldn’t
allow it to be done
completely in
boxwoods, so I chose
this combination. The
dark green and
chartreuse create a
sharp contrast. It
requires some
tending—two or three
prunings a season,”
Smith says.
