#tesaruonbudget A Global Tour in the Pacific Connections Garden Who needs an expensive plane ticket when you can traverse five continents in an hour? The Pacific Connections Garden is a budget traveler's dream, offering ecogeographic displays from places like Chile, New Zealand, and China—all within Seattle's limits and at no charge. It's fascinating to compare the climates and plant life of Cascadia with its Pacific Rim counterparts. We felt like we were getting a free lesson in global ecology. Make sure to read the interpretive signs; they add incredible depth to the visit without needing a paid guide. This garden proves that the most educational and beautiful experiences don't have to break the bank. #tesaruonbudget
