Abstract: The present invention provides an herb scoop for use in scooping, transporting, and depositing herbal plant matter from a container into the bowl of a pipe or other smoking device. The user manipulates the scoop to guide the scoop blade portion under the plant matter, guiding it into a trough area of the blade portion. While keeping the trough upright, the user can transport the herb from the container to the pipe or other smoking device. Tilting the scoop to either the left or right side (depending on the user's handedness) will then allow the plant matter to flow out of the trough and into the bowl or equivalent chamber. Using the tool is an improvement over the current methods of pinching the herbs with one's fingers or using prior art tools which lead to plant matter sticking to the fingers as well as the potential spillage of material during transport and dispensing. When not in use, the herb scoop can be stored directly in the herb container for easy access.
