Morphology
The meaning 'the part of the year when conditions are most favorable for plant growth' is directly and transparently composed from 'growing' (relating to growth) + 'season' (a period of the year). This adjective+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Growing season comes from farming. The word growing shows plants are 'growing' and season means a time of year, so the phrase names the part of the year when the weather is best for crops to 'grow'.
