Brittany Lapple

Brittany grew up in Middle Island, New York and graduated from Clemson University in May of 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture and a minor in Horticulture. As part of Clemson’s Lowcountry Digital Preservation Institute, Brittany trained in digital approaches to documenting and preserving 18th and 19th century buildings and landscapes in Charleston’s historic district and neighboring Lowcountry plantations. She cultivated her horticultural talents as an intern at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, New York, a 400-acre “Gold Coast” estate designed by Guy Lowell and the Olmsted Brothers, among others. Brittany’s role as landscape design intern afforded her experience maintaining historic plant collections in the estate’s arboretum and greenhouses.
