There was certainly a lot of transferring of plants to pots in the time of Louis XIV. In the garden at Trianon, "no dead leaf is ever seen nor any shrub that is not in flower... for which," according, in 1694, to Andre Le Notre, garden designer, "it is necessary to change more than 2,000,000 pots" (quoted in the 17th century section of the article on France in The Oxford Companion to the Garden (2006)). But Louis XIV is remembered for having declared "L'etat, c'est moi," not "Le jardin, c'est moi," so I bet his entourage was busier with trowels than he was.

I take it to be a trowel, "a pointed, scoop-shaped metal blade and a handle. It is used for breaking up earth, digging small holes, especially for planting and weeding, mixing in fertilizer or other additives, and transferring plants to pots," according to the article on trowels in Wikipedia.
