Toni, I'd bet your neighbor would be interested in High Country Garden's catalogue. I've heard complaints that the plants there are too expensive, but I have had pretty good luck with them. They carry a lot of native plants from the four corners states. And I love that they list which plants require rich soil and which actually prefer poor soil, sand, clay, etc. Even if one doesn't buy there, it's a rich source of info. Good luck with your neighbor's garden.
Zuzu, I have figured out where one might
buy a ferret but apart from an adopt-a-badger program in the UK, I couldn't figure out how one might possibly acquire a badger.
