Are you going to mortar the blocks together?
Please consult your county/city's building codes for retaining walls.
Even though these are low walls, if they are going to be put on concrete and mortared together and filled with concrete, they need to go on a footing that is as deep as your soil frost depth.
How are you going to finish the face of the wall to make it more attractive?
