As many already posted here, it is possible, but can never be a permanent situation, due to the too low gravity on the moon being incapable of keeping an atmosphere, including water vapor (in the air and on the ground).
Note that even a much bigger sphere like planet Mars could not maintain all it's atmospheric gases, due to it's low gravity.
The suggested "green house" solution may allow small patches of plants to sustain. But only if the great day-night temperature variations can be controlled
There have been several suggestions in the past to build a permanent settlement on the moon, and if that is realized I am sure that plants will also be brought there to flourish, as part of that development.
