Usage Note
wachsen ('to grow') is strong and takes sein in the perfect: Der Baum ist gewachsen. Beware a separate weak verb wachsen meaning 'to wax/polish', which takes haben — context disambiguates.
Examples
"Die Pflanzen wachsen im Garten."
Natural Translation
The plants grow in the garden.
Literal Translation
The plants grow in-the garden.
