'The Twelve Gardens of Stewardship' is a concept developed by Bishop Robert Morneau of the Diocese of Green Bay which helps us apply Christian stewardship to every area of our daily lives. The Archdiocese of Seattle Office of Catholic Schools recommends that each school adapt the suggested 'Twelve Gardens of Stewardship' schedule and optional grade emphasis according to their specific curriculum needs.
