Don't have too much to add here, but like you both point out; this is a fun event but only being around for one month and the only other event like this, although much better as it has more going on, is the Acorn pie one which I had thought was going to be a precursor to a lot more similar events, but it never panned out unfortunately.
Barring how this is only for one month, my main issue is that you very quickly do not need bulbs for all that long, since there are only 12 prize maps. Of course, you don't need coins for all that long either. In an open Giddy Park, assuming other players are present, you have to contend with that too. In a private one, it's pretty easy to get those bulbs if you need them from this event.
This is my main issue with BfN; so many ideas that could have been amazing, but they feel neglected or underdeveloped, and Giddy Park especially after how much more alive and interesting the GW2 Backyard Battleground is; Giddy Park lacks AI variety and is too easy to spawn camp, the events in the zone are mostly dull and give coins which you quickly don't need anyway, and so on. I do like the fishing buddy quest, the gnome puzzle, and that garlic Easter Egg, but so many things in BfN feel like the devs wanted to do so much more with the basic ideas but weren't able to for one reason or another.
