The celebrated gardener Christopher Lloyd, a near-neighbour of the Nicolsons at Great Dixter, described Raven in the mid 1990s as "really energetic and creative ... promot[ing] a more dynamic and showy style of gardening than has been fashionable for many years".

Raven's publications include The Cutting Garden, The Bold and the Beautiful Garden, The Great Vegetable Plot and Sarah Raven's Garden Cookbook (U.S. title: In Season) which was named Cookery Book of the Year by the Food Writers' Guild in 2008.
