Actually, it doesn't. The word "all" does not appear, and the account only deals with two types of plants, as I mentioned before - seed-bearing herbs and fruit-bearing trees.
I would recommend taking another look at Genesis 1:11 (in Hebrew if possible) and comparing it to Genesis 2:5. The closest you can come to a contradiction is to claim that certain seed-bearing herbs must be cultivated, and to try to imply an "all" in Genesis 1:11 that's not there.
