1. Acceptance of terms
By using growscotland.co.uk you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
2. Gardening advice disclaimer
GrowScotland provides gardening guidance and interactive tools for general information. This is not professional horticultural advice. Growing conditions vary by garden, soil, microclimate and season. We source our information carefully from authoritative references, but you are responsible for your own growing decisions and results.
We publish honest sourcing information on every page so you can check the evidence behind any claim. Where a source is missing, we tell you rather than invent one. Where authorities disagree, we show both sides.
3. Affiliate disclosure
GrowScotland is a participant in the Amazon Associates programme. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to products we believe are genuinely useful. Affiliate links are never placed on chemical pesticides.

5. Limitation of liability
GrowScotland provides information and tools — including our planting calendars, frost date estimations and other interactive calculators — on an "as is" basis. We make no warranties about accuracy, completeness or suitability for your specific garden. Frost dates and planting windows are estimates based on regional averages and historical data: they are not a guarantee for your exact location or a given year. To the fullest extent permitted by law, GrowScotland accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of this site or reliance on its content.

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland and the United Kingdom. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Scottish courts.
