    Kids need outdoor activities that encourage activity and exercise, as well having as live plants to interact with. Tic-tac-toe and chalk drawing can be done inside all winter long, and I would gladly give up the fake turf and couch in favour of a sand box, swing, small veggie garden, etc.. The tiny kid space isn't much for three little ones. A bird feeder might have been nice for them too :)

      You can line the planter with heavy plastic; put drainage holes in the bottom of the plastic to allow water drainage in the bottom OR leave the plants in large plastic planters, totally hidden by the cinder blocks.
