A garden trowel is a handheld tool with a pointed, scoop-shaped metal blade attached to a handle, used for digging small holes, transplanting plants, and moving soil. A garden scoop, on the other hand, has a wider and shallower scoop-shaped blade, often made of plastic, and is primarily used for scooping and moving larger amounts of soil, mulch, or compost. While both tools are essential for gardening, a garden trowel is more versatile for detailed work, while a garden scoop is better suited for larger tasks like spreading mulch or compost.
