That will be the most interesting thing, which plants can handle being
surrounded by cement. I know Corsican mint doesn't seem to mind, but it is
a short ground cover. I bet some sort of ivy would fit the bill, doesn't it
grow on and in everything? Flamingo water celery (or parsley) also does
well in the blocks. Better in the blocks than the pots in the pond for me.
