I know of the Pop Up Patch at Fed Square where you can hire your own veggie crate for $25 a week, incl tools and seasonal seeds http://littleveggiepatchco.com.au/pages/pop-up-patch. It also holds fun gardening workshops for kids and big kids.
Another great one is Sunnyfields Community Garden at 540 High Street, Northcote https://www.facebook.com/SunnyfieldsCommunityGarden.
There's a small community garden project at 486 Cecil Street, Fitzroy http://www.3000acres.org/sites/1-cecil-st-collingwood and another one with 4 community boxes at 5 Condell St, Fitzroy, http://www.3000acres.org/sites/5-condell-st-fitzroy.
For people living in the inner west, there are great community gardens on offer. These are the ones I'm aware of.
