English translation:concrete planters
Explanation:
We don't have a specific term, so there are many ways to say it, depending on whether you're talking about the containers in your picture or the concrete blocks used for landscaping.

Some terms I've found: concrete garden edging, ornamental cement garden products, and my favorite: concrete retaining wall sleepers, lol.
