During October and November, WeLoveU members in the United States
contributed to the local environmental preservation by creating Mom’s Garden
at parks and farms in New Jersey, Texas, and Connecticut. They planted
137 trees and sowed over 100 seed balls. This initiative was partnered
with Samsung Heavy Industries, Black Culture Collective, and Manasquan Bank.

Seed balls, made from seeds mixed with soil, clay, and fertilizer, boost germination rates and are frequently used for ecological restoration and tree planting.
