Which part of Canada?
I would investigate government grants that target creating municipal assets. Then form whatever sort of "gardening association" is able to apply.
I.e. do whatever that Valemount Learning Society did in your link.

I'm totally inexperienced when it comes to organizing so take this with a grain of salt, but you might want to just focus on solving the issue at hand before making some rule for communist purity. That way you can be more far reaching in gathering a community around it.
If you are personally a communist and you set a good example in your community then naturally people may follow. But starting from the top down with communism is probably not going to help and might put your project dead on arrival.
This is good advice.
My worry is that this hydroponics setup probably costs a lot and requires continual upkeep and volunteer labor. Thinking about it, I guess when I say "remains communist" I mean that there exists a community body that is responsible for it, plans for its upkeep (& replacement cost & expansion, etc) and calls forth the volunteer labor to run it. I fear without that ethic the project could devolve into a plain old business.
I don't want to be an individual who goes around soliciting funds and volunteers for a social project, only to have it end up as a rug-pull-transition to becoming a private business.
