Since yesterday's blog about What's Mine is Yours I've spent a lot of time thinking about libraries - which seem to me to be the quintessential example of community-based, publicly supported, material sharing.

Perhaps community gardens fit into this model? The space is shared, and trusting the other users (as well as passers-by) with your carefully-tended plants can be an exercise in good faith.
While the "materials" aren't universally shared community-wide, there is certainly an expectation that part of your harvest will be donated to the community. Most community gardens are connected to a food bank program.
