Hee, I should really take more photos and put them up. These are older photos and now we have actual furniture!
There are two types of groundcover there; the lighter green plants that are closer to the camera (in two sections) are aegopodium variegatum, also called snow-on-the-mountain, and the darker plants to the upper left are sweet woodruff. The sweet woodruff can handle a more acid soil and less sunlight, and you can't see in that picture (but here (http://flickr.com/photos/svwindom/304349080/in/set-72057594047350886/) is a better view) that they are below a juniper tree, which like most evergreens acidifies the soil.
