Good Morning. I am Charles James, AKA Cha-Cha. I am proudly Sunset born, Sunset raised and Sunset-focused. Serving as the mayor of this special town and working with the community here means the world to me.

I look forward to continuing to experience Sunset's positive growth, while holding onto the culture that sets us apart!

Wow! Sign up here!

Wild Child Soil School IS LIVE!!! And you are invited! This is the course every gardener wishes they would have taken first, and we are building it together!!!

This is the first time I have ever done anything like this!!

Here is how it will work:

I will upload foundational teachings for each of the four weeks to your course library on Mondays. On Wednesdays we will have live coaching at 2:00pm (cst) for you to ask all of your questions and for us to dive deeper into the week's teaching. Then I will take what we discussed in coaching and create more teachings from it to add to the course for the remainder of the week.


This is the only opportunity to experience this course in this way. And I want you there!! We are not starting fresh. We are building our soil, the wild child way, right where we are in the season. And by the end of our four weeks together, your garden will be transformed!



Here are the modules for this course that we will dig deep into over the next 4 weeks:



• Start With The Right Soil

• Understanding And Testing Your Soil

• How To Build Soil That Feeds Your Plants

• Building Better Soil Over Time



This week, we begin in Module #1: Start With The Right Soil. Here are a few things we will go over:



• Soil vs Dirt

• Bagged products

• Priorities

• Using Our Senses To Grade Soil

• Why In Ground Gardens Are So Hard

• How A Wild Child Builds Soil



We will also talk about exactly what to buy and what to avoid. And we will wrap up with your homework, and one step to get started!

Get instant access when you join! This is the course that all gardeners wish they would have taken first!!! It is the course that changes everything!!

Your weekly modules will be uploaded on Mondays, and we will meet every Wednesday at 2:00pm (cst) for live coaching and deeper discussions on the topic of the week!! This is the good stuff.

If you can't make it live, no worries. All replays will be uploaded within 24 hours. We are building this course together!! I can't wait to get started!! I hope you’re there.
