Martha Stewart just wants to be “one of the girls.” The 83-year-old home and garden maven recently revealed that her feelings were hurt because she wasn’t invited to join her local garden club. “I had to work to get into a garden club,” Stewart told NPR’s “Morning Edition” in a recent interview.

She added, “I don’t want to embarrass my garden clubs too much, but they never invited me. I had my house in Maine for 20-something years, and I was never invited.

Even though I let people come for garden tours to see my gardens, I was never invited to the garden club.”She said she didn’t know why she never got an invitation, but she finally put her pruning shears down when they asked her for a tour of her garden.

They asked me for a garden tour, and I said, ‘You know, I’d love to belong to the garden club.’ And so then I got an invitation.
