I think there's also a big difference between "a community garden" and "a community that gardens". Lots of (most?) "community gardens" are simply a collection of rental plots where everyone just grows what they want to grow in their plot. When I've had gardens like that, yeah people will give each other some handfuls of whatever they have too much of, but there's not that much sharing.
In an ideal world, i think you'd actually have a bit of a plan as a group and distribute tasks^From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs^. E.g., maybe Alice has a yard that's perfect for growing tomatoes, Bob has a lot of shade, so he can grow leafy greens, Charlie hates gardening but likes foraging, Dave has a good spot for composting, etc.
