THE GARDEN Media Group revealed its trends report for 2013, weirdly dubbed "The Year of Bliss." GMG's president, Susan McCoy, explains: "People are seeking happiness in ordinary things by channeling the forces of nature and the life-enriching benefits of plants." So here's what the group has to say on a variety of topics:

• Gardeners are more interested in native plants and environmentally safe solutions for weed and pest control.
