* HappilyEverAfter: Grace becomes a wildly successful author, gets out of her financial difficulties, remarries happily, and nobody in the town suffers any fallout from her short-lived drug cartel.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: The bumbling cop, rather than simply obsessed with tracking down salmon poachers, has known all along what's going on in Grace's greenhouse (as well as at the vicarage), but has decided to turn a blind eye to it due to Grace's string of tragedies.

* AcceptableTargets: Everyone makes fun of Matthew for being Scottish, although it generally takes the form of gentle ribbing.

After her husband John’s suicide, newly widowed avid gardener Grace Trevethyn discovers that she has inherited his significant debt. Moreover, the banks are ready to foreclose on her [[CoolHouse beautiful and historic house]] and are already repossessing her furniture and other possessions. Unwilling to leave her charming seaside town, her employment prospects are dim (even if she had a trade, her debts are substantial). Grace is given emotional support by the town's inhabitants, particularly her loyal, pot-smoking gardener Matthew Stewart and his girlfriend, the fishwoman Nicky. Rounding out the cast of quirky townsfolk are Nicky's colleague and Grace's boarder [[ConspiracyTheorist Harvey]], and the [[TheStoner stoner]] Dr. Martin Bamford. Despite wanting to help Grace save her home, none are able to find a solution to Grace's plight.

Her [[TitleDrop Saving Grace]] comes in the form of a midnight trip to the town vicarage when the recently fired Matthew asks Grace's help reviving some plants he's been secretly growing in the vicar's backyard. Upon discovering that they're hemp plants, Grace brings them back to her greenhouse since she's aware they [[HiddenDepths need more light.]] Her prowess as a gardener shows itself as Matthew's plants quickly yield a massive amount of product. Grace and Matthew quickly realize that they have a way to get Grace out of her financial straits, and Matthew his job back. However, the [[CountryMouse modest country widow]] may be in a bit over her head . . .

* BabiesEverAfter: Nicky and Matthew. One of the main reason Grace decides if anyone is going to take the fall for all this, it's her.

* FishOutofWater: While an adept grower, Grace is hilariously bad at dealing.

* HopeSpot: Grace and Matthew's bountiful harvest.

* MonochromeCasting: With the exception of some extras and bit parts we see when Grace goes to London.
* MoodWhiplash: Goes from potential tragedy to drug comedy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: The bumbling cop, rather than simply obsessed with tracking down salmon poachers, has known all along what's going on, but decided to turn a blind eye to it due to Grace's string of tragedies.
* OneofUs: Matthew is evidently a fan of Dr. Who.

* ThoseTwoGuys: The shopowners who get high off of Grace's "tea." Chyna and Honey's dealer.
* TraumaCongaLine: First, Grace's unfaithful husband jumps out of an airplane. Then, she finds out she's drowning in debt. Then, she gets involved in the drug trade . . .
