A potting garden trowel has a wide blade with high, curved edges for holding soil and compost.
It is used for potting plants into plant pots. The curved edges of the blade match the curved sides of a plant pot, making it easier for the blade to fit into the pot.
A potting garden trowel is available with a specific blade for right- and left-handed users – the handle is positioned on the side of the blade to make it easier for the different users to scoop the greatest amount of soil or compost.
