Abstract:
A structural building unit, a form for making a structural building unit, and a method of forming a structure from structural building units are disclosed. A structural building unit comprising left, right, back, and front portions with the front portion extending inward and downward from the left and right front edges creates a void into which soil and plants may be placed, allowing plants to grow from any structure created with the structural building units. These structural building units are suitable for improving the aesthetic value of the structure and providing any structure built therefrom with shade and other methods of cooling, including evapotranspiration, reducing the contribution of the structure to any heat island effect. The plants also lead to improved air quality through conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen and carbohydrates.

Claim (Index 1):
A form for casting a structural building unit out of which plants are able to grow, comprising:\n a front retaining wall assembly having a front extending interior plate; an internal form assembly having an internal extending interior plate and an internal form back plate; a central retaining wall assembly; a back retaining wall assembly; and a plurality of connectors; wherein the front extending interior plate and the internal extending interior plate form a front channel when the form is assembled, and wherein the front channel extends inward and downward from the front retaining wall assembly for casting a front portion of the structural building unit; wherein the back retaining wall assembly and the internal form back plate form a back channel when the form is assembled for casting a back portion of the structural building unit, wherein the back portion is vertically oriented; wherein the central retaining wall assembly and the internal form assembly form side channels when the form is assembled for casting a left side portion and a right side portion; wherein the internal form assembly creates an internal void in the structural building unit; and wherein the plurality of connectors removably couple each of the front retaining wall assembly, the internal form assembly, the central retaining wall assembly, and the back retaining wall assembly to one or more of the front retaining wall assembly, the internal form assembly, the central retaining wall assembly, and the back retaining wall assembly.
