Turn your area into a cherry grove
/fillbiome ~-15 ~-15 ~-15 ~15 ~15 ~15 minecraft:cherry_groveThe area around you becomes Cherry Grove, with its grass color.
/fillbiome command in Minecraft
/fillbiome changes the biome of a cuboid area without touching the blocks. The new biome brings its own grass and water colors, weather and natural mob spawns. The replace option limits the change to certain biomes or a biome tag.

Biomes are saved in cells of 4 × 4 × 4 blocks, so the edges of the change snap to that grid. One command covers at most 32,768 blocks by default, the same max_block_modifications limit as /fill; above it, the game answers "Too many blocks in the specified volume (maximum 32768, but specified 35937)".
Tips
A Mushroom Fields zone keeps hostile mobs from spawning naturally, and a Cherry Grove tints the grass. With replace, a tag such as #minecraft:is_ocean targets every ocean at once. To find a biome to copy, use /locate.

Why do the edges of my biome change look blocky?
Biomes are stored in 4 × 4 × 4 cells, so the change always follows that grid.
