The Green is a collective consciousness, not an individual consciousness. If I kill a single neuron in your brain, do you feel pain? No. The individual plants don't have their own feelings. The Green is a big picture phenomenon, but Ivy is incapable of big picture thinking. She sees a human trimming a hedge and she goes apeshit. The problem is that Ivy's powers project a consciousness onto plants. She gives them the gift of sentience. In other words, she's the one making the plants suffer, and she can't see that.
