Some Basic Garden Tools You Will Be Needing for your container garden:

The hand trowel is the most useful tool for a Container garden. For you to be able to mix your soil properly, dig a hole.

The hand trowel looks like a mini version of a garden spade used to scoop compost from its bag before mixing.
A good hand trowel must be made of heavy metal like iron or steel. If not, might bend easily and won’t be there for a long time if it's made of aluminium. Get one for your garden that is comfortable to hold so it's easier to dig holes for the plantation. The one that has a loop at the handle makes it easy for hanging.
2# Pruner
A pruner is used for cutting down fruits and vegetables from plants. It also cuts branches and stems very well. Your pruner must have sharp blades good enough for a fast cut.
Get your garden a good one that won’t rust in a shorter period of usage. One that you mustn’t always sharpen before use. You need one of about 5\8 inches cutting diameter capability.
3# Hand Cultivator

4# Gardening Gloves
To prevent germs and dirt, you will need multiple pairs of garden gloves to shield yourself from harm and allergy, especially for those with sensitive skin. Buy long-sleeved hand gloves if you are one with delicate and sensitive skin. Thorny-proof gloves are there for some thorny plants like roses.
5# Soil Scoop
Essentially used for shovelling or scooping soils, fertilizers and compost etc into the planter. Getting a larger scoop makes it easy to transfer soils in larger quantities. Also, get the one made with rust-proof steel or plastic.
6# Micro Tip Scissors

9# Garden bag
