The first frost of the winter didn't stop a team of GoodGymers from digging out the thermals to help the Friends of John Innes Park remove a pesky patch of bamboo.

It turned out to be quite the workout, but we dug deep, clearing a large area of bamboo, roots and all, in the hope of stopping it from spreading any further.

Fingers crossed we've got to the root of the problem and it doesn't make a comeback next year!
