Abstract
The concrete form is a structure having a user-selectable shape allowing for the creation of an opening in a concrete surface, such as a concrete patio, with the opening having the user-selectable shape. The form includes a plurality of wall members, which are joined together to form a closed continuous wall having the user-selectable shape. The wall members are each secured to the ground, and the user pours liquid concrete on the ground exterior to the closed continuous wall. The closed continuous wall defines the opening and prevents flow of the liquid concrete within the opening. Following hardening of the concrete, the form may be removed, leaving an opening in the concrete surface, having the user-selectable shape, in which the user may plant flora and the like.
