ABSTRACT:
A plantable retaining wall comprised of a plurality of rows of plantable retaining wall blocks. Each wall block has a plant-receiving cavity formed in a top surface. The plant-receiving cavity is located between portions of side walls which are generally parallel to the front face of the block. The wall is constructed such that the blocks in each row are offset to expose a substantial portion of the plant-receiving cavity in each block. The shape of the individual wall blocks allows the retaining wall to be constructed in a substantially vertical orientation. The wall blocks may include an alignment means and a connection means allowing the blocks to be aligned and stabilized with respect to blocks in adjacent rows of the retaining wall.
