Barren to Beauty
From a barren, rocky hillside to the cultural epicenter that it is today, the Ahhh… Ras Natango Gallery and Garden has always had a special, unique atmosphere. In 1988, Ian Williams (Ras Natango) purchased the land that would later hold Ahhh… solely for the view. After years of pursuing his art, the land was terraced and a gallery built upon it. In 2009, the gallery and garden were well on their way to becoming a formal attraction. It was at this time that Ahhh… Ras Natango Gallery and Garden was registered through the Jamaican Tourist Board.
