A hand trowel is a gardening tool which is designed for digging small holes, transplanting seedlings, planting bulbs, and performing similar tasks. Many gardeners find trowels immensely useful, and they are quite common in gardening sheds. The design of a garden trowel includes a handle and a scoop shaped blade, somewhat like a miniature shovel, except that the blade is longer and narrower, proportionally. This design makes a garden trowel ideally suited to working in the close quarters of flower beds, and for tasks like transplanting, handling seedlings, and placing bulbs. Some gardeners also like to use trowels for weeding, since the small, sharp blade can help to uproot stubborn weeds.

The term “trowel” is also used to refer to a flat bladed masonry tool which is used to smooth surfaces. These trowels are used with concrete and mortar to create a uniform texture before the wet material fully dries. They can also be used to create textured plasters, with careful manipulation of the blade. Flat bladed trowels can also be made with slightly pointed ends for various applications, especially archeology, where people want to be able to gently move earth without the risk of damaging a specimen.

When purchasing a hand trowel, look for a sturdy specimen with a handle which feels good. You may want to avoid painted trowels, as the paint can flake off as the trowel is used, and stainless steel is a good choice of blade material, since it will not rust as the trowel is used or stored in damp environments. Many trowels also come with small holes in their handles so that they can be hung on pegs or nails for easy storage.
