Members and volunteers enjoy a discount of 10% throughout the year.

Jellies and Syrups The Gift Shop offers a tasty assortment of sweet treats ranging from Prickly Pear Jelly to Cactus Flower Honey to Agave and Prickly Pear Syrup. 
Creosote Bush Salve This locally produced salve harnesses the healing properties of creosote bush, a common desert plant also known as chaparral, greasewood, and gobernadora del desierto. 
Jabebo Earrings Created from recycled cereal boxes (box labels are visible on the backside) each pair of earrings represents a companion set of critters, for instance, a robin and her nest, a male and female painted bunting, a mama and her baby javelina. These are definite conversation starters.
