hey there!
i have recently developed an interest in gardening. I am a dimwitt as far as gardening is concerned, please help me to
1- collect gardening tools(basic)
2-flowers and plants. how to get and sow them.
Ok... First, basic garden tools....
You will need.....
*Spade
*Trowel
(I prefer the narrow, transplanter trowel)
*Cultivator
*Garden gloves (water proof, preferably)
Optional....
*Knee cushion
*Pruning Sheers
*Bucket/basket to carry supplies around in
*Hand rake
The tools you need will depend on what you plan to do, really.
Here are some websites that tell a little about gardening tools....

Next, your plants....
You have three choices:
1. Seed
2. Bulb
3. Potted plants
For instant results, nothing beats the potted plant!
But... Nothing beats seed if you are wanting to stay on the economical side!
...Why not a combination, a few plants, and several packets of seed? =)
You can get seeds online, in garden shops (local nurseries, Walmart, Kmart, even the Dollar Stores)... Some grocery stores carry seeds.
What type of flowers/plants you choose really depends upon your preference.
As for flowers that are easy to start from seed, I would recommend Marigold, Zinnias, Pansies and Petunias.
You may want to choose a combination of flowers, foliage plants (Hostas, Caladium, Ferns, etc), herbs and even veggies if you'd like.
A couple of websites to get some tips and ideas....

Please help me with this, i also need a list of gardening equipment..or where i can find them..
I would call a hoe, a shovel, a rake a gardening tool. A tiller, a mulcher, garden hose would ge gardening equipment. All of these can be found at any hardware store, most nurseries or WalMart, Sears, etc
Assume that I know nothing...
If I am creating flower/shrub beds in a new yard what tools will I need to buy to plant and maintain them? (A roto-tiller to begin - got it!) If you want to share any advice or tips, please do!
Please include any "optional" tools that you have found helpful!
Beyond the usual rake (bow rake or regular) and full-sized shovel, You'll need a few hand-sized tools. There are 2 types of hand shovels that are best--a regular shovel and a trowel, which is thinner and is a better size to plant small plants with. I also have a great tool that I picked up a few years ago. It looks like the back side of an pickax (like a thin hand-held hoe) on one side, and a small rake on the other. It can even tear up sod or roots if you chop with it.

Basic Tools for Gardening: Tools Needed To Start a Garden ...
Gardening can be a fun and relaxing pastime. To get started, there are some basic tools that every gardener should have. It's important to have the right tool for each job. Many tools are quite versatile and can be used for a variety of jobs. Although some people who garden have a shed full of tools, it's easy enough to plant a garden with just a handful of essential tools.
Tips for Buying Gardening ToolsIt may be tempting to buy some bargain tools, but, in the long run, it's best to buy quality tools that will last. Steel tools that are tempered or heat-treated are among the best. Even better are stainless steel tools because they don't rust, although they can be rather pricey. Be sure to look at the handles on the tools.
Wooden handles are preferred by most people who garden. Make sure there are no flaws, such as knots or splinters, in the wood. In addition, stay away from tools with loose joints as this is a sign of poor craftsmanship. Check the weight of the tools. Try holding different ones before buying any as it would be unwise to buy anything too heavy. Also, keep in mind the handle length. Tools should be comfortable to use.
