Collection: Garden Trowels & Planting Hand Tools

Hand trowels, the must have gardening tool

Metal garden scoop with black handle

A garden trowel is a compact hand tool for planting, transplanting, digging small holes, moving soil, and working in containers or raised beds. This collection also includes transplanters, soil scoops, planting hoes, and compact shovels for related tasks.

How to choose a garden trowel

  • Blade shape: narrow transplanters suit deep planting holes; wider blades move more soil.
  • Material: compare stainless steel, carbon steel, coatings, and care requirements on each product page.
  • Handle: evaluate length, grip shape, weight, and any ergonomic features for your preferred working position.
  • Soil conditions: tougher or root-filled ground may require a reinforced or serrated design.

Clean and dry the blade after use, and follow the manufacturer’s care directions to reduce corrosion and keep edges in working condition.
