2. Service description
ErinScope is an educational and lifestyle platform focused on beginner gardening, plant care, balcony and patio ideas, seasonal home and garden projects, wildlife-friendly gardening habits, and BBQ and outdoor hosting basics. The Website offers articles, checklists, workshop descriptions, and guidance intended to help users plan and carry out practical projects.
The Website does not provide professional trade services, on-site consulting, engineering advice, medical advice, or legal advice. Content is general in nature and may not be suitable for every situation, property type, climate micro-condition, or individual health circumstance (such as allergies).

Where the Website references workshops, any workshop offering is subject to availability, capacity, scheduling, and suitability. Submitting a workshop interest request does not guarantee a booking, a scheduled date, or a specific learning outcome. If we introduce paid sessions in the future, any payment terms will be presented clearly at the point of purchase, and these Terms will continue to apply.
