Why is it appropriate for people to walk on grass?

Grass is a plant, just like flowers. Why do people walk on it, but they freak out when their roses or begonias or whatever are stepped on? Why doesn't walking on grass damage it as much as it would to any other plant, like a flower?

I guess...


I hate it when I send the kids to go get the mail, because..... yes you guessed it. They walk on the grass ( shortcut ).





The patch is so ugly now, I spend so much time trying to recover that every year.
Reply:ok, flowers look pretty, but they are generally pretty fragile. they are pretty, they are for looks.


grass is pretty darn plain... boring even. and suprisingly resilent. you have to walk on the same spot often to start to kill it off.


this is just my humble opinion, but i think grass is around your house because it is soft, cool, and meant to be enjoyed. it there is a place where a path is starting to wear, put in a row of stepping stones, but the rest of it should be enjoyed by tired feet and relaxers. if it didnt feel so nice, we would just pave everything so we wouldnt have to mow, and have flower boxes neatly on top
Reply:Because they are two distinct types of plants. They have totally different properties. Like mice and Gorillas.


If you took a machine and mowed down roses like you do grass they would die. Grass is just that ,grass. It is ok to walk on because in can take it. Grass is only slightly stressed but it will survive.


Is this a trick question ? =)
Reply:Grass is an overabundance - it's everywhere.


They grow without a lot of work, apart from when it's very dry out and ends up being crunchy.





Flowers actually look nice and take more time and care to handle.
Reply:Grass can tolerate the abuse and it will also grow back when damaged try that with a flower and see what happens to it.
Reply:There are grass varieties that are specifically bred to be walked on and/or used for sporting activities.
Reply:Walk barefoot on roses? No thanks!
