No—not on one Nintendo Switch system in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Complete Edition. Nintendo lists the game for one local player. Online multiplayer is available, but it is different from two people sharing one console.
What multiplayer does the Switch version support?
Nintendo’s US eShop listing gives Battle for Neighborville Complete Edition a single-system player count of 1 and an online range of 1–16. Nintendo Australia likewise lists “Local 1” and identifies online play as a supported feature. The US listing describes partying with up to three friends in Giddy Park and joining online Turf Takeover matches. Nintendo US · Nintendo Australia
For the Australian listing, online play requires an internet connection and a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo’s listing is the place to check for the requirements applicable to your region.
Why doesn’t split-screen work on Switch?
EA’s general description of Battle for Neighborville mentions split-screen couch co-op, but its platform caveat is explicit: “SPLIT SCREEN COUCH CO-OP ONLY AVAILABLE ON PS4/XBOX ONE.” That feature does not apply to the Nintendo Switch edition. EA: Battle for Neighborville

Connecting another controller or adding Joy-Con does not change Nintendo’s published one-player limit for local play.
Can you play offline with someone?
The Switch edition has offline solo options, including free-roam PvE regions and Private Play modes. Offline availability does not mean local multiplayer: Nintendo still lists the local count as one player. Nintendo Australia

Which Plants vs. Zombies game do you mean?
These player counts apply specifically to Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch. They should not be treated as specifications for every game in the franchise or for the original tower-defense game.
EA says Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 supports local split-screen, but that is a different game. EA’s FAQ does not establish that it is available on Nintendo Switch, so it is not a verified Switch alternative for couch co-op. EA: Garden Warfare 2 FAQ
