This is an awesome book, I receive no gain from this plug, and you should read it before you take another step.

The #1 reason for a community garden to fail is the people. Not the weather, not the crops, not the bugs or diseases or critters. The people.
The #1 reason for the people to fail is that nobody wants to do the gruntwork, like arrange for insurance and pay the water bill and pull weeds, but everybody wants to pick tomatoes. It's a lot like those people on Kitchen Nightmares who buy a restaurant and then think all they have to do is stand around and greet customers.
The community gardens that succeed are the ones with strong leadership, and the ones where people already have a strong sense of commitment to each other--neighborhood watch groups, churches, Girl Scouts, things like that.
