The following Pokemon will be Special Day Spawns alongside their dates.

Bonuses:
A new event brings some new bonuses, with this one coming with bonus candy and stardust and more. Here is a list of all the bonuses that’ll be active during the event:
A bonus of 1.5x Candy will be given for hatching Pokemon.
A bonus of 1.5x Stardust will also be active during the event.
Candy from walking with a Buddy Pokemon will have a higher chance to yield XL candy.
Incubating eggs will cut the hatching distance by half (1/2).
Field Research Task Rewards:
Petilil, Tangela, Roselia and Foongus will come as special rewards for completing Event-themed Field Research that will be available during the event. All of these Pokemon will also have a chance to be shiny so players might not want to skip on completing event-themed tasks.
Timed Research:
Timed Research, fortunately, comes as available for free to all players that play Pokemon Go during the event. Although the rewards are not mentioned, the tasks will be focused on exploring parks and hatching eggs. This will disappear after Glittering Gardens ends on August 8th, so players will need to complete it beforehand.
This is the perfect time for players that are fans of Petilil and Lilligant to snag themselves ample Candy and maybe even a shiny version for themselves in Pokemon GO. Almost all spawns and eggs and rewards feature Petilil, so players will get some massive spawns for the Pokemon. Lilligant is also a very great Gen 5 Grass Type that has some high Special Attack Capability to power up grass-type moves for use in PVP or in Raids.
