Damp soft ground takes a lot of the bounce out of jumping but if you can find some dry hard ground it is ideal to learn on
The other thing I found was that after jumping on grass I got more height when I went back to concrete (Think you try harder on grass)
Also the grass is softer to fall on

It can be a bit harder to jump on grass, make sure you are jumping on a little more solid(not too solid in case you fall) piece of grass and make sure you are using the correct technique.

Really green grass is good, its got thick soil, so easy to bounce of and has a soft landing

I've bin doing a lot of grass bouncing lately, saves the gravel rash! biggest problem I've had is slipping. So I have made sum tyre socks out of MTB tyres with good tread. They help a lot.
