Q.Green Carpet’ Pachysandra Planted
I just planted Green Carpet’ Pachysandra around a Beautiful white ash tree with lots of roots. Can I give these new little plants coffee grounds? What is another ground covering I can plant around another tree with lots of roots and easy to grow? I am a real GARDEN NOVICE.

You can. I like using spent grounds to be sure that there isn't too much nitrogen present. There are a few things that you can attempt to grow under the tree, but Pachysandra will tend to take over, pretty invasively. Here are some articles that will help:
