Zusammenfassung:A PLANTABLE RETAINING WALL BLOCK (10) HAVING A PLANT-RECEIVING CAVITY (30) LOCATED IN A TOP SURFACE (12) THEREOF. THE BLOCK (10) IS CONSTRUCTED SO THAT THE PLANT-RECEIVING CAVITY (30) LIES BETWEEN PORTIONS OF SIDE WALLS (16, 18) WHICH ARE GENERALLY PARALLEL WITH A FRONT FACE (20) OF THE BLOCK (10). THE SHAPE OF THE BLOCK (10) IS SUCH THAT A VERTICAL OR NEAR VERTICAL RETAINING WALL MAY BE CONSTRUCTED SUCH THAT EACH PLANT-RECEIVING CAVITY (30) IS SUBSTANTIALLY EXPOSED TO ALLOW VEGETATION TO BE PLANTED. THE WALL BLOCK (10) MAY INCLUDE A CONNECTION AND/OR ALIGNMENT MEMBER (36, 38, 40, 44; 46, 48) TO ALLOW THE BLOCK (10) TO BE STABILIZED AND ALIGNED WITH BLOCKS (10) IN ADJACENT ROWS OF A RETAINING WALL.
