criar = bring up
crecer = to grow
Would that suffice?

I believe criarse (reflexive) is to grow up and crecer simply the infinitive to grow.
Cuando criarse sale la casa. When one grows up he leaves home.
Quiero crecer un jardín esta primavera. I want to grow a garden this Spring.

sorry but none of toses sentences are right in Spanish... you can't grow a garden, in any case you can say: plantar un jardín. And the first sentence is just not right ;) I would say that what Chileno said is more correct :) - AitaFM, Dec 21, 2013

Can I say "Quiero crecer las verduras en el jardín"? - Mainer, Dec 21, 2013
