Why do church lawns in arid climates have kentucky bluegrass instead of native plants?

Question

Would Christ waste water?

Father Onesimus: Wow, you don't think it's possible to waste water? You just lost all credibility in anything you could ever say.

Answer 1

The church with the nicest lawn gets the biggest tithes. I mean, really, would you attend a church that has a less than lush lawn lest someone think god smote that lawn?


;o)

Answer 2

I had to do some googling on this question and some thinking... (thinks for making my Monday bright LOL)

Basically, from what I gather... Kentucky Bluegrass, is the prettiest and looks the best. .........


Bluegrass remains the same in popularity much as it was when first introduced to North American by early Europeans and their animals. Beautiful, lush and finely textured, this is the real lawn grass most people strive for. Truly a "bare foot" grass at its' finest. Not too aggressive nor too retiring this species mixes well with companion cool season grasses for greater diversity and longevity. As most tender bladed grasses go; higher rates of fertilizer and water are needed. It's fast growing characteristic has the ability develop a good root system against drought. Bluegrass has good "lawn mending" capabilities.

Answer 3

Blue Moon of Kentucky by Bill Monroe and Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs.

Answer 4

Kentucky bluegrass grows well where there is a lot of BS and it's delicious. I'd say the two are a natural fit.

Answer 5

First of all, if you go to Phoenix, I think you'll find that proportionally more churches xerascape than do private residences; they're a business afterall, that pays water bills.

Secondly, I will 'waste' all the water I want to. The quantity of water on earth is NOT CHANGING! How could you 'waste' water? That's the silliest thing I ever heard.

You see, you believe in LACK, whereas I believe in ABUNDANCE.

Answer 6

for the same reason banks do.... being bad stewards of their resources
