Raquel "Rocky" Ergas is the Head of the Houseplants Department and buyer at Green Acres Nursery in Roseville, where she's worked for the past four and a half years. An avid amateur horticulturalist, Raquel has a special love for Begonias, Philodendrons, Euphorbias and Tillandsias. She is an avid begonia grower as well as a member of the Sacramento Begonia Society.

Before finding her true calling in plants, Raquel worked as a personal and executive assistant at a law firm, but eventually realized that spending all day indoors and away from nature wasn't for her. Now, she spends her days surrounded by greenery and couldn't be happier. She's passionate about helping others grow their plant knowledge and bring more life into their indoor spaces.
