Zack Benson Photography I used a Concrete Block Adhesive to hold it together. I found it at Home Depot in the glue section. Hope that helps. To keep the dirt in I just used metal screens and block adhesive. Here is a photo of the underside of one of the blocks.

Somewhere on their site is a video about using it
As far as cutting the block, cinders are sold in an 8x8 and 8x16 size so you can just buy it. No cutting

added by Danyelle Mathews to Succulents Juice Up Outdoor Gardens
Adding architectural interest to your backyard space with cinder blocks and succulents is simple. Create a one-of-a-kind garden specific to your aesthetic and space restrictions.
added by Samantha Schoech to 10 Imaginative Garden Ideas
Cinder blocks are ugly. These cinder blocks, arranged to form a geometric planter, are modern and brilliant. And the whole thing goes so well with succulents, which have a sort of geometry to them too.
added by Jenn Hannotte / Hannotte Interiors to Clash Course: Design Comes Outside to Play
Get creative with your display techniques. This simple block construction playfully displays succulents in an unexpected and graphic way.
