Morris grew up surrounded by both horticulture and agriculture, including specialties in farming, greens keeping, and lumber. His family supported him when he decided to start Williamsburg Floral.
“[Williamsburg Floral] has been in business for over 40 years, and what that tells you is that they are doing something that they absolutely love to do, and the people, their customers, love what they’re doing too,” said York County Board of Supervisors Chairman, Thomas G. Shepperd.

“It couldn’t be done without my crew, who I really thank and appreciate every day. I wake up every day and thank God for that,” Morris said in his ribbon-cutting speech. “Without their support and knowledge and interest to learn things and to change we wouldn’t have been around as long as we have.”
