Sarah Raven

Raven's publications include The Cutting Garden, The Bold and Brilliant 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 Guild of Food Writers in 2008. In 2011, she published a monumental book on Wild Flowers, with photographs by Jonathan Buckley, who has worked with her on most of her books. A BBC2 television series called Bees, Butterflies and Blooms, focusing on the national decline in pollinating insects and championing nectar-rich flowers as a way of saving them, was broadcast in February 2012. She presented an episode of Great British Garden Revival which aired on BBC Two in 2014. Sissinghurst: Vita Sackville-West and the Creation of a Garden was published in November 2014.

She now runs a garden and cookery school at Perch Hill, and is a guest presenter on BBC Two's Gardeners' World. She writes a weekly column for The Daily Telegraph. 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 was born in Cambridge, the daughter of John Earle Raven (d. 1980), a classics don and Senior Tutor at King's College, Cambridge, by his wife Faith née Smith (Constance Faith Alethea Hugh Smith), a daughter of Owen Hugh Smith (1869–1958).

Sarah Clare Raven (born 1963) is an English gardener, cook, writer and television presenter.
