Need New Lense- Macro & Landscape


Hello, I'm an amateur photographer who does photography as a hobby. I usually take nature pictures with this camera. I'm looking to purchase a lense that can photograph close-ups of flowers as well as landscapes. When I bought my camera NIkon D50 I got a Quantaray 28-90mm that has macro setting on it .3-.7. I really liked this lense as I could take photographs with various depths of field without changing lenses. I recently dropped my camera and the lense popped off breaking the mount on the lense so it will no longer stay on the body of the camera. I'm wondering if there is anyway to replace this peice or if not...what type of lense I should replace it with. I would like something that can take close-ups but that is also versatile. I have looked online but find it a bit overwhelming the amount of lenses out there and do not fully understand all of the terminology. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to spend around $200-300.
