I assume you want to know where to source some of the materials they used etc rather than being on a show?
I haven't watched the programme but I would suggest you make a note of the the company which produced the programme.
Then Google the company.
There will probably be a website for them and a 'Contact Us' page.
Fill that in to ask for contact details of the producers / researchers for the show you're interested in and then send them an email asking for the info you require.
Failing that you could send Danny himself an email and ask your questions

PP - I've never been anyone's gardening inspiration before! whooo!
Well you're one of mine now. That was a cracking job and shows what can be done with a little bit of thought.
..........and a tin of white paint!

We actually had much 'grander' plans for it, but shelved them when we realised we were going to sell so wanted to do it nicely but cheaply. We were intending to put in low level lighting, black marble edging, tiles instead of decking, and a build in seating area around the corner, to make it all really swish and super contemporary. Glad we didn't go to that effort now, for someone else!
Back to the poster's question - I watched Episode 3, dead easy to do really - all they did was whitewash a couple of walls, stick some pretendy coloured grass down and put in some wooden planters and trellis (you could just buy these, you don't have to make them from scratch). They could have done laods more if they'd had more time, I'm sure. Good luck - just a lick of paint will work wonders to start!
