Here’s an old architectural concept illustration from sometime in 2008. A sort of portico of brick archways suspends a living roof accessible from the second story of the main building to which both are attached. Small fruit-bearing trees could be made to take root making a pleasant garden roof-top.

The word gnome is derived from the New Latin gnomus.
It is often claimed to descend from the Greek γνώσις (gnosis), meaning knowledge.
It more likely comes from genomos (earth-dweller), in which case the omission of e is, as the OED calls it, a blunder.
Paracelsus includes gnomes in his list of elementals, as earth elementals. He describes them as two spans high, and very taciturn.
