Hero
They tease that Hero might not be Leonato's son. Leonato comes back and says that she has to be, because Benedick wasn't old enough to seduce his wife at that time. There is no true doubt about the faithfulness of Leonato's wife of the parentage of Hero. They are just engaged in witty wordplay, which seems to be a common pastime with them.

Don Pedro and Claudio joke repeatedly about Benedick after he has fallen in love with Beatrice, but maybe you're thinking of the scene in which Benedick comically implores Don Pedro to send him on a mission to the ends of the world so that he can avoid Beatrice. Don Pedro replies that all he wants of Benedick is his company, and Benedick rushes out, saying, "here's a dish I love not: I cannot endure my Lady Tongue." (Act 2, Scene 1)

Why does Hero say that she will not tell Beatrice about Benedick's love?

Because really, the love was not even true. They were just trying to get Beatrice and Benedick to love each other. By purposely letting Beatrice overhear Hero talking her maid or whoever it was, they wanted Beatrice to think that Benedick loved her so that Beatrice would love him. The men let Benedick overhear their conversation about how Beatrice loved Benedick (even though she really didn't at that time) so that Benedick would thinkthat Beatrice loved him so he would love her. Yes, complicated, I know. : )

How are claudio and don pedro so easily fooled in the garden in Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare?

The thing is, Benedick and Beatrice cannot meet each other without getting into a fight. But everyone sees that even though they fight all the time, what they are really fighting is the fact that they are terrifically attracted to each other. However, their pride will not let them admit it (does this sound like Jane Austen at all?). How could Benedick tell Beatrice that he loves her when he can expect to get a cutting sharp-tongued remark in reply? The same applies to Beatrice: How can she says that she really cares for Benedick when he keeps railing on about how he hates her? To solve this problem, the men will allow Benedick to overhear their conversation in which they will bemoan the fact that Beatrice is suffering in silence for her love of Benedick, who is treating her mean. Benedick will be encouraged to admit his love when he hears this. Meanwhile the women (Hero and Ursula) will do exactly the same thing to Beatrice. It works and it's hilarious.
