About

The Plant Studio; formerly known as The Prop Studio, began as a personal plant collection that quickly grew into a thriving space for tropical greenery. Born and raised in the lush, urban tropics of the Philippines, Nicky, the founder, was surrounded by plants her family lovingly cared for—an influence that shaped her passion from an early age.

When she moved to Canada in 2020, she faced the challenge of recreating that same tropical feel in a country with four distinct seasons. What started with a few herbs and houseplants soon expanded into custom plant cabinets and an entire plant room. Along the way, Nicky developed hands-on experience in keeping tropical plants happy and thriving indoors, even in non-tropical climates.

In 2023, the shop opened its doors, offering plants nurtured by Monica herself, alongside curated potting mixes, pots, and plant care essentials. Today, as The Plant Studio, it has grown into more than just a shop—it’s a creative space for discovering healthy plants and connecting with a community of plant lovers.
