I would look into federal, state, and local agriculture and zoning laws- it could be that liability issues have already been dealt with. Tenant farming has been around for centuries, and it's still being practiced here in the USA in the commercial farming industry- except that now "tenants" are also referred to as "operators". Another thing you may want to look into is to have the community gardeners form a corporation/ LLC what would rent the land from the property owner, such that any potential claims would be against the said corporation and not against any individual.
