Infinity Day at Queens Botanical Garden

Explore the concept of “infinity” through interactive activities, workshops, and tours at Queens Botanical Garden on August 8. QBG’s Math in Bloom programming continues this August with Infinity Day: a full-day celebration of one of math’s most abstract (and most fascinating) ideas. As part of the Simons Foundation’s Infinite Sums initiative, this event invites you to discover how infinity can be observed and understood in the world around us. Pick up a copy of our new Field Guide, walk the Fibonacci Spiral, participate in interactive demos and activities, join guided tours that uncover hidden mathematical patterns in plants, and hear from our mathematician in residence. Highlights include: • Arts and crafts, including an evolving communal canvas • Sunflower-inspired crafts, seed planting, printmaking, and family activities • Guided tours highlighting Fibonacci patterns, geometry, and the hidden mathematics of plants • Talks exploring infinity in mathematics and nature • Special food offerings inspired by patterns, cycles, and cultures from around the world • An outdoor screening of The Matrix to end the day For more information on Infinite Sums and the Simons Foundation, visit infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org.
