ABOUT THE PROP STUDIO
The Prop Studio is a Toronto-based, women-owned, one-woman marketplace born in a cozy basement and fueled by a deep passion for plants. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a business dedicated to supporting fellow plant lovers, small businesses, and collectors.
We specialize in rare tropical plants, lovingly slow-grown from my personal collection—not wholesale just to flip—ensuring quality and care in every leaf. Alongside plants, we offer urban gardening essentials, a selection of crystals from my personal collection, and handmade crafts created with care.
As a multi-vendor marketplace, our mission is to give small businesses and collectors a space to share their treasures with a wider audience. While our platform is still evolving, we’re excited to introduce new vendors soon—some of whom you may recognize from local markets, Facebook groups, or expos. At The Prop Studio, our business is all about supporting others while spreading the joy of growing and collecting.
FROM THE SHOP OWNER
Hi! I’m Monica, but you may call me Nicky, aka sneakyplants—a rare plant collector based in vibrant Toronto, Canada. My love for plants traces back to my tropical roots in the Philippines, where lush greenery was a part of everyday life.
Over time, what started as a simple hobby turned into a full-blown passion for propagating, nurturing, and sharing the joy of rare plants with others.
The Prop Studio was born right here in my cozy basement, a one-woman operation fueled by love and dedication. I grow rare tropical plants straight from my personal collection—I never mass source just to sell—so each plant is truly special. Beyond plants, I also offer gardening essentials, a selection of crystals, and handmade crafts, all thoughtfully curated to add a little magic to your space.
Starting an official online shop was never in my original plans, but through connecting with fellow collectors, small businesses, and sellers, I saw a need for a safe and supportive platform where plant lovers can share their treasures without compromising privacy or convenience. The Prop Studio is my answer to that challenge—a space where passion meets purpose, and where I can help others grow and thrive, just like the plants we love.
