We've had a little experience - not all good - with community gardens.

Risks include losing control of the cohesive, clean appearance, and productivity, etc., by allowing too many hands in the decision-making process.

Also, when different groups in the garden are allowed to do things their own way, the garden can end up a hodge-podge of ugliness. I believe beauty and order are most conducive to both happiness and productivity.
