About the Co-Chairs
About Rebecca
Rebecca is a San Antonio native who grew up cherishing frequent trips to the Garden, and she is honored and enthusiastic to co-chair this year’s Bubbles & Blooms luncheon alongside Angela Rabke. Rebecca and her husband, Scott, have two children, and they are thrilled to be building precious memories together at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. To this day, feeding the ducks, fish, and turtles remains a top priority during every visit, and their family looks forward to the annual holiday lights celebration every year. As the Garden is a place that serves all generations, they hold dear the family portraits taken in the same beloved spots where Rebecca and her siblings were photographed as children.
About Angela
Angela is delighted to co-chair this year’s Bubbles & Blooms event with Rebecca Nathan. Growing up in San Antonio, the San Antonio Botanical Garden was a cherished place to visit, especially with her grandmother, who was a fixture at the Garden Center. Angela and her husband Trey have three children who have all richly benefited from the beauty and diversity of natural spaces at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. As a family, they deeply value the preservation, restoration, and accessibility of these spaces for generations to come.
